Thanks everyone for your encouraging words! We will have the bot in Atlanta regardless of if the field is there or not (although obviously it will be awesome to have a throw down - our team has made 3 bots including Ball-istic Jr. [we are working on building some of the field our self])

No, the balls to use were recommended to me by team 40 and are from this website:

Shipping is very quick and they last for awhile. I recommend only taking out as little as possible for testing as we got all 15 balls out and gunked them up (scrubbing made the faces wear off - we have since gotten another 15 balls).
Finally, we did some more work on the bot... the shielding is now on and we are currently fabricating bumpers. Picture attached of current bot.
